Tonight is the night! Pre-orders for these incredibly versatile scalloped punches will begin TONIGHT at midnight EST! We will be one of the few websites to have ALL twenty punches available! We’ll be anxiously awaiting your arrival when the pre-order page goes live at midnight!

While you’re waiting, here is a really quick & easy project I came up with last night using the Giga scalloped oval punch. An itty-bitty purse!

1. Punch the scalloped oval out of patterned paper. Flip it over and score on either side of the center scallops.

2. Cut a length of ribbon and adhere one end to the "bottom" of your purse with a glue dot. Loop the ribbon up the side to form your first handle. Pierce holes near the top of each side of the handle and attach brads. Repeat the handle process on the opposing side. Glue dot the remaining end of your ribbon to the bottom as well.

3. Punch a second scalloped oval from a coordinating patterned paper. Repeat the same scoring process done in step one.

4. Adhere the second oval inside the purse to line it and cover up the backs of your brads. I inserted an individually wrapped strawberry lifesaver.

This purse could also hold a Starburst candy, a couple quarters or a tightly folded dollar bill for a child’s birthday, or even an accordion folded set of index print size photos. As I always say, the possibilities are endless! Papers: polka dots from Paper Salon, stripes from ChatterboxRibbon: Hobby LobbyTag: Making Memories

That is so cute! Also, the same lines you used to score your paper…you can cut on those and make a little label. This can be done from the square scallop punch too. It is really cute. I got that idea from Asela at Hop Art Studio. Love your blog and thanks for sharing such great ideas for your products. That makes such a difference!

Couldn’t you come up with anything cuter? OMG – this is about the cutest dang thing I have seen in – well – forever. Thank GOD I already have this punch as my list is about a million miles long already. These tutuorials are NOT helping. I am going to sell my plasma today just to buy all these punches! HA! Not really… Thanks for all these KA-YUTE ideas. I hadn’t bebopped over here until the punch preorder….but now I’m hooked. Dangit! =)

OMGosh! You are tooooo clever with that clever lever punch!!! LOL! I guess thats why they are called that. Way to go with coming up with such CUTE ideas! And thanks for sharing them. I have quite a few of the scallop punches, but not all of them. I just ordered 3 more this morning. I want them all!!!! But, then again, don’t we all?

SUPER cute and so easy. I saw this post a while back and sent the link to a friend. She didn’t receive the link and I was dumb enough not to save it. So today I sat for about 40 minutes trying to find your wonderful tutorial again and I DID. WHOHOOO.

Nichole you have done a great work.. I like this Mini Scalloped Lifesaver Purse..http://www.vivamagonline.com/index.php Very simple one to try and thanks for the good idea.. Sounds great and beautiful!!!
